Amplon. Quarto 28, anno 1415, fols. 38-41, ars notoria et orationibus et figuris exercenda; Amplon. Octavo 79, 14th century, fols. 63-64, ars notoria brevis et bona. Sloane 3008, 15th century, fol. 66-, de arte notoria, brief and illegible. [895] Essentially similar is “The _Sword of Moses_. An ancient book of magic from an unique manuscript, with introduction, translation, an index of mystical names and a facsimile. Published for the first time,” London, 1896, by M. Gaster from a Hebrew MS of 13-14th century. Gaster (p. 18) describes the treatise as “a complete encyclopaedia of mystical names, of eschatological teachings, and of magical recipes.” The _Sword_ proper is a series of names. [896] Sloane 3849, 15-16th century, fols. 30-38, A noble experiment of King Solomon with astrological tables. Ashmole 1416, 15th century, fol. 113v, Libellus de sulphuris virtutibus; 114-, Fragmentum de planetarum influentia; 123-, On perilous days; 123-4, Ars artium, or prayers to invoke spirits, is perhaps a portion of the _Ars Notoria_. [897] Vienna 3124, 15th century, “Verba de proprietatibus rerum quomodo virtus unius frangitur per alium. Adamas nec ferro nec igne domatur / cito medetur.” BN 13951, 12th century, Liber Apollonii de principalibus rerum causis. [898] Trinity 1109, fols. 388-90, Expl. tract. de Palmistria Salamonis. The tract consists of two full page diagrams and an explanation in French. [899] Royal 7-D-II, late 12th century, fols. 3-10, opening, “Hanc ergo triplicem divine philosophie formam....” I quote the description in the new catalogue of the Royal MSS. [900] See above, page 281 of this chapter, notes 3 and 5. [901] Possibly he is the same Euclid as one of the three co-authors of the work on the _Notory Art_ mentioned above. [902] One wonders if this can be the evil book of magic referred to by Roger Bacon and other writers as _De morte animae_. [903] _De civitate Dei_, X, 9. [904] Royal 17-A-XLII. [905] Sloane 313 seems to reach only as far as the early chapters of the “second work.” [906] _De legibus_, cap. 24, p. 68 in ed. of 1591. [907] Sloane 3854. fol. 114r.
